Obama wins New Jersey, Romney takes Arkansas

President Barack Obama won New Jersey, networks projected on Tuesday night, while Mitt Romney took Arkansas.

Obama interrupted campaigning to visit New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy caused widespread destruction there, and won plaudits from the state’s Republican Gov. Chris Christie for his response to the massive storm. It carries 14 electoral votes.

Romney picked up six with his win in Arkansas.
